PORTSMOUTH — A local man is accused of violating a protection order to stay away from a Sandown woman, allegedly breaking into her home and then calling her repeatedly to ask her not to press charges.

Abdul Khan, 64, of Simons Road in Portsmouth, was indicted this month on three stalking charges, as well as one count of tampering with a witness and one count of burglary. Khan is also charged with violating a protective order from the court.

According to the indictments, Khan allegedly appeared inside the victim’s home in Sandown on two separate occasions — May 29, 2012 and the evening of June 4.

Then between June 4 and Nov. 15, Khan allegedly repeatedly called the victim and left “threatening and otherwise disturbing messages” on the victim’s voice mail machine, according to an indictment.

Police say when he left the voice messages, Khan was already facing a burglary charge, and he had been ordered not to speak with the victim.

On Nov. 15, Khan allegedly contacted the victim and “attempted to induce or otherwise cause” her to testify falsely about the existing charges against him. He is accused of telling the woman “I wish you would drop the charges” because “we’ll end up in the Supreme Court” and “you’ll lose your house, your car and your job,” or words to that effect, according to the indictment.

By placing phone calls to the victim and appearing at her house, Khan also allegedly violated the terms of a protective order issued in the 10th Circuit Court in Derry in June 2012.

The burglary charge is a Class A felony and the witness tampering charge is a Class B felony. The remaining charges are class A Misdemeanors.

An indictment is not an indication of guilt; rather, it signifies that a jury found sufficient evidence to warrant a trial.
